French outlet Le 10 Sport are claiming that Arsenal are ‘well-placed’ to sign Adrien Rabiot over the course of the week with either he or team mate Clément Chantôme set to leave the defending French Ligue 1 champions, but not both.

Rabiot is yet to appear in any of PSG’s opening three league matches this season, whilst Chantôme himself has only played three minutes for the Parisians to start the season.
